Default SUSPENSION Question

ok guys i just ordered Lakewood Traction Action lift bars that replaced the lower control arms bbk heavy duty uppers bbk subframe connectors and energy suspension motor mounts and transmission mount how much of a difference do u think i am going to notice. how much do u think i would be able to do on my own i have a little bit of skills but not severe. also when i got to buy struts and shocks to finish my suspension what should i go far 90/10 or 70/30 whats the difference. also i noticed when i was checking into it i noticed lakewood made 90/10 for the front is there nothing else for the back or does it matter......sorry for the questions trying to learn as much as i can. thanks

run the 70/30's and 50/50 on rear..those 90/10's are in no way good to run on the street!.... as for the bars..I would have bought a set of adjustable uppers

i didn't see any adjustable uppers when i was looking into it. how much of a difference would the adjustable make over what i am getting?

Agree with the 70/30's for the front. 90/10's will be miserable on the street and not give you much more advantage.

Dont know why you say that about the 90/10's.. Just installed Lakewood 90/10's and they offer a good ride, and EXCELLENT lift on launches.. The only thing you cant do is take a corner at 50MPH, I'd go with the 90/10's..
